The following pictures were taken by Fred, KE6HTI on Oct 24,2002
during a visit to the repeater site.
The trusty KM6DF repeater occupies a corner of the transmitter
building of KSNI (Sunny
Country 102.5 FM)
The main repeater antenna is on the left above the left facing
microwave dish KSNI uses
for a link between their studio and the transmitter site. Below
the dish is the antenna used by the remote base transceiver. On
the right hand side of the tower, opposite the main antenna, is
another vertical (disconnected) and a 220 mhz horizontally polarized
yagi pointing south east. The dish pointing to the right is another
studio link to Lompoc. The main thick black cable snaking up the
tower is a two inch hardline feeding KSNI's 4500 watt signal to
an array of FM antenna's at the top. Just visible to the right hand
side of the picture is the radio station's backup transmitter antenna
mounted on a telephone pole.
Inside the cabinet, from top to bottom are the power supply, remote
base transceiver, main two meter receiver, the controller (with
all the cable connections), a secondary receiver (disabled) and
the transmitter.
Another view of the lower cabinet showing the transmitter and four
of the six cavities.
